A conservative beer company is pushing back after beer giant Anheuser-Busch filed a trademark claim against it after the company went viral for criticizing Bud Light’s association with a transgender influencer.
"Anheuser-Busch has filed a federal trademark opposition before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in an act of corporate revenge against Conservative Dad’s Ultra Right Beer," the Conservative Dad beer company said in a press release accompanied by a new video this week, explaining that Anheuser-Busch is claiming Ultra Right Beer's trademark request infringes on the trademark of Michelob Ultra.
Anheuser-Busch wrote in its opposition that it "believes that it will be damaged by the registration of the mark ULTRA RIGHT" and pointed out that it has "marketed and sold billions of products in the United States under the arbitrary and inherently distinctive mark ULTRA and variants."
The trademark filing comes roughly two years after Ultra Right Beer's launch video, which featured founder Seth Weathers smashing a Bud Light can with a baseball bat, went viral in response to Bud Light partnering with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
The partnership sparked a social media firestorm, causing beer drinkers to boycott Bud Light, which appeared to have a significant impact on the brand’s domestic sales.
"This isn’t about trademarks — it’s about retaliation," Weathers said in a statement.
"Anheuser-Busch is furious we helped expose their woke disaster with Bud Light, so now they’re using their billion-dollar legal machine in an attempt to financially bleed us dry. But unlike them, we’re not just a corporation looking to maximize profit — we’re a movement of Americans who have had enough."

I’ve never heard of this Ultra Right brand and I stopped buying ANY AB beverage as soon as found about their deal with the cross dressing eunuch.
Suit is complete BS, looking for someone else to fix the mess they themselves made. I hope it doesn’t have legs.
Sure. Fox sucks you in with what seems to be a reasonable discussion of the issue at hand, then right out of the gate smacks you with 1 minute and 22 seconds of AB’s favorite tranny defending the indefensible. F**k Off Fox!
"Ultra" is used all the time in products. Anheuser-Busch is dreaming if they think they can copyright the word 'Untra'.
You’ve never met a jury pool at a copyright dispute case have you.
They’ll get 12 knuckle-dragging mouth-breathing EBT cardholders and convince them that poor ol’ A-B bein’ cut in on by this upstart gang of hooligans using the word Ultra
Don’t doubt me.
Depends on what left-wing, nut job, poser they get as a judge. Even if they can’t, it will take years and drain the small company dry. The process is the punishment, AB’s goal anyway.
It doesn’t have to have legs. All it has to do is bankrupt the competition. And punish them for being so bold. It’s exactly what is going on with St. Luke’s & Ammon Bundy. Way past adjudicating some wrong. They are out to destroy.
Go-Fund-Me or Give-Send-Go the little beer’s legal expenses. Get them the best pit bull lawyers.
